Chapter 14
Julia awoke to the feeling of someone watching her as she slept, her eyes fluttered open as she found John leaning up on his elbow looking at her. His hand reached out and brushed against her face as she smiled. Everything that had happened in the last twenty four hours seemed like a dream—they were finally together, all her worries and fears had disappeared. All that mattered was that she and John laid quietly next to each other. She looked up into his eyes and watched as his own locked onto hers.
" Morning." John stated
" It's a very good morning waking up next to you." Julia replied
" I agree." he smiled, " Julia….."
" Yeah?" she asked waiting for him to continue
" I don't want you to fight Jericho. I'll make some kind of deal with Bischoff." John replied
" John I have to, Eric wants you to put you title on the line again or for me to beg for his forgiveness. I'm not going to do that and neither are you. I can so this, I might not win but…"Julia stopped as he interrupted
" That's just it, I don't want to know what might happen if you don't win. Jericho is a selfish bastard and would do anything to hurt you. I'm not just concerned because you're a woman, but because I'm falling for you. I mean at first it was attraction—hell want man in their right man wouldn't want you. But, you became so much more than that. Your smart, funny, open minded, you don't give a damn what anyone thinks of you, you do want you want, no one rules you. I know I sound like a dumb ass right now, but I don't want to see anything happen to you. Please, just let me try and get you out of it."
" No, John I'm damn near head over heels for you. But, I can't let you risk anything over Jericho. At Summerslam Jericho's ass is yours. Don't mess it up because of me." she replied
" Julia your not a risk…."
" John please…..I knew becoming a reporter had its risks in the WWE. But, I'm happy I take those risks. Because we wouldn't be here." Julia interrupted
" I'm not going to change your mind am I?" John asked
" Nope." she replied
" Alright. I can't change your mind. But, I want you to be careful…." he said as Julia looked at him oddly, he agreed to let her fight Jericho. If only she knew he had already made plans to secure her safety regardless of what she said. John would be damned if he let Jericho lay a hand on her.

After talking and having breakfast in bed, John and Julia decided to head to the arena. John figured that if they got there early he could show her a few moves to maneuver pass Jericho and at least last through the match unharmed. Just as they reached his locker room, Julia noticed a note on the door. She picked it off and handed it to John. He opened it and read the contents.
" Sorry to have to take your reporter away from you tonight John, but don't worry I won't send her back too worn out." John read out loud as he realized it was from Jericho. He crumbled the note in his fist and turned around to find Jericho but Julia stopped him.
" Relax. Remember, no getting mad and getting into more trouble. Now, I am going to get us some water. So you stay here and breathe. Okay?" she asked seriously, John looked down at her and nodded. She tip toed and kissed him as he smiled. " I'm just go around the corner, I'll be right back." She turned around headed in the direction of the water stand. Just as she grabbed two bottles of water someone bumped into her. Julia slowly glanced up and looked at the person wondering what the hell was their problem. Then she saw them—Julia nearly cursed as none other then Lita was standing right in front of her.
" Excuse me," she nicely stated despite her real thoughts. But, Julia didn't want to get into it with Lita, she just wanted to get back to John's locker room. As she went to pass Lita blocked her way.
" Okay, I'm trying to be nice, but what the hell is your problem?" Julia demanded annoyed
" I'm just here to wish you luck with Chris tonight," Lita replied
" Yeah right, what do you want?" Julia asked
" Hey I'm trying to be nice here. You're the one firing at me. But, to be honest I want you to stop commenting on mine and Edge's personal life. I don't give a damn if you're a reporter or not. Watch your mouth." Lita replied
" I should say the same thing to you Lita, cause who knows where your mouth has been. Now I really don't want to get into this with you. But, as for the whole Edge and you thing, I don't give a damn about what you or blondie think about my reports. If you stopped being such a slut and your man stopped bitching up, then maybe I would have something nice to say." Julia said
" The only bitch around here is you! You think your hot shit cause John likes you or whatever. But, your just a reporter with a big ass and mouth to show." Lita replied
" Careful Lita, cause your ass is two words away from being knocked out. I'm already at the edge, don't test me." Julia warned
" Sweetie your not even at my level, professionally or height wise." Lita replied
" I'm sorry being a professional hoe isn't on my resume. But, keep talking and I'll knock your ass a couple of inches down." Julia stated, " You fake ass Latina—acting like your the shit cause Edge so call loves you. Your just another trick on his list of threats. Now if you'll excuse me. I have a real man waiting for me." Lita gritted her teeth as Julia pushed past her. Not even two steps away, Lita lunged at Julia and knocked her to the ground. The bottles of water slipped out of Julia's hands as she screamed in surpise.
" You bitch!" Lita yelled as she tangled her hands in Julia's hair and bounced her head on the ground. Julia grabbed Lita's hair yanked on it as she tried to get her off of her. Lita screamed and pulled at Julia's hands, Julia took that as an opportunity to drag Lita down so she could roll her off. Once Lita was on her back Julia rose to her feet, she quickly disregarded her heels and when Lita stood up, she was met with a Louie Theiz press taking her back down to the ground. Julia slapped her and started to pound on her as Lita frantically tried to claw at her face. Lita backhanded Julia off of her and stood up in an attempt to stomp on her. Julia grabbed her foot and pulled her down before she could even do anything. On the ground Lita grabbed Julia's tank top and tried to rip it off of her. Julia grunted as Lita tore the material and slapped her mouth. Groaning Julia soon screamed as Lita wrapped the remaining of her tank top around her neck and started to choke her.
" What's the matter got nothing to say now bitch!" Lita yelled, Julia pried at the material trying to release herself, she felt her head start to feel clouded and knew that she had to get out of that situation before she blacked out. Reaching for a plate on the table, Julia grabbed it and hit Lita in the face with it. She quickly let her go and held her head in pain as Julia gasped for breath. Standing up Julia kicked Lita in the stomach, she then picked up her tank top and wrapped it around Lita's neck.
" I have a lot to say to you Lita your just not worth my breath!" Julia yelled as Lita grasped for air. The fight continued on for a few more minutes until a worker alerted Bischoff about what was going on. Soon John, Edge, and Bischoff were there with half of the wrestlers backstage watching the whole thing. Edge was about to strike Julia, but John was already in his face.
" You fucking lay a hand on her and your ass won't make it to Summerslam!" John warned with burning eyes as they both turned back to the women on the ground.
John and Edge pulled the two raging women off of each other. John had to grab Julia's hands as she tried to punch Lita as Edge used his weight to hold Lita down on the ground.
" Let me go!" Julia fumed as John was once again surprised at how strong her 5'4 body actually was. Lita desperately tried to crawl out of Edge's weight but he held her down tightly. Bischoff was so busy watching the whole thing to even do anything about it. So many ideas were running through his head as he realized how much of a fire Julia Martin really was.
" Alright stop this! Damn you two will not act like this in my arena! John get her away from here—your not needed until tonight Ms. Martin. Edge get Lita out of my sight! Now damnit!" he finally ordered. John narrowed his eyes at him, but decided it would be wise to get Julia away from Lita. He picked Julia up and wrapped his arms around her—dragging her back to the locker room, he wasn't surprised when she was still cursing and trying to get out of his clutches.
" Let go! Damnit!" she yelled as John placed her on the couch
" Relax!" he stated grabbing her hands, Julia was still fuming even after a few moments had past. John laughed as she blew a strand of hair out of her face.
" Bitch!" Julia suddenly said as he chuckled
" You know your sexy when your angry." John replied as she narrowed her eyes at him.
" Shut up." she stated rubbing her neck
" What did you do to each other?" he asked as he massaged her neck gently
" She got stupid started messing with me. It's a long story and I just want to get this night over with. Shit she hits hard." Julia replied holding her jaw.
" Just like a certain reporter I know." John stated as she gave him an evil glare

Ironically the time was now and John wished he could turn the clock back. Julia's match was moments away and she was backstage waiting for RAW to return from a commercial break. He was on nerves—it was like he had to watch her get punished because of him. How dare Bischoff put her in a match like this. And he couldn't do anything about it, Bischoff personally banded him from ringside and Julia refused to decline the match. He was screwed on both ends. He knew Julia's pride was what was making her do this. Even though she knew that he would get her out of it in a second if she asked. Suddenly his theme song started and the crowd went wild as Julia came out. John smiled as she got a round of cheers, he wanted her to come out to his theme music since she wasn't a wrestler and didn't have an official song he just thought it would be nice…..and of course the thought of Julia coming out to his music made him happy. She was wearing black sweat pants, a grey WWE baby tee, and white sneakers. Her hair was pulled into a tight ponytail. She was ready to go, John thought. But he wasn't ready. Julia waved to the crowd as she entered the ring. If she had looked deeper into the mass of people she would have found someone that didn't belong. John carefully hid himself with a group of fans as he was wearing baggy light blue jeans, a black Chain Gang hoodie, and black sneakers. He agreed to let Julia do the match, he never agreed to stay backstage and watch it. He wanted a front row seat to make sure the match went smoothly. Soon Jericho's music was blasting through the speakers as the so called King of Bling made his way down the ramp. Julia stood strong as he entered the ring and tauntingly walked up to her. He pushed his hand out as a gesture of peace but Julia just narrowed her eyes at him. Jericho only laughed as the bell rang. He started to circle her like a predator, Julia soon did the same. Both just stared at each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. Jericho had finally gotten cocky as Julia had hoped he would and charged at her. He grabbed her arm and swung her into the ropes in an attempt to do a Flap Jack on her, but Julia countered and came back with a Head Scissors Takedown. John's mouth nearly dropped, where did she learn to do that?. Jericho quickly got up and knocked Julia off her feet, she laid still for a moment before hurrying back up. But he was already a step ahead of her, clutching her shoulders roughly, Jericho threw her into the corner. The crowd booed as he only laughed. He pulled her to the center of the ring and set her up for a Suplex. John cringed as Julia grabbed her back in pain when she hit the mat. Jericho grabbed her neck and tried to raise her up. But, what he didn't count on was for Julia to balance herself on her hands and then do a Hurracanrana. The crowd cheered as Julia tried to get a hand in the match. Jericho got back up and Julia swung him into the ropes. She was going to drop kick him, but he folded his arms around the ropes and stopped himself. Julia dropped to her back, expecting him to repel back at her. As she was laid out on the mat, Jericho tauntingly came over and tried to stomp on her. But Julia moved and locked herself between his legs. She grabbed Jericho's hands and slid under him; causing him to turn inside out. It was then that John realized something, Julia knew how to wrestle. She was now standing up and lifted Jericho up, she slammed him into one of the turnbuckles. Julia climbed on it and was about do a Hurracanrana, but Jericho grabbed her waist and slammed her onto the mat. He dropped to his knees and rolled her up for the first pin. But Julia pushed her shoulder up before three. Jericho rose up and dragged her with him, he playfully brushed his hand against her face.
" You know you could call the match miss Martin. Then we could play this game backstage." Jericho commented to her as she glared at him. Julia felt something boil inside of her. She raised her hand to take a swing at him, but he slapped her hand aside and grabbed her shoulders. He turned around and pushed her against the turnbuckle. Julia struggled to escape his hold on her. The referee told Jericho to let her go, but he ignored him. As Jericho turned back to Julia, his jaw was meant with a mouth shattering slap. Angry, he turned around and speared her into the turnbuckle—he rammed into her with such force Julia was knocked off her feet. Jericho dragged Julia by her feet to the center of the mat and tried to turned her around to perform the Walls of Jericho. That was it, John couldn't taker it anymore. He wanted Julia to win the match by herself, but he couldn't watch her be destroyed by Jericho. Just as he hopped over the barricade, Christy came running down the ramp and climbed up to the apron to distracted the referee. John took that as an opportunity to slide into the ring and clothesline the hell out of Jericho. The crowd went wild as John taunted him to get up and when he did he did the FU on him. When Jericho was laid out, he pulled Julia over him and quickly slid out the ring. Christy let the referee get back to his job and watched in joy as he made the count. As his hand hit the mat for the third time the crowd cheered as Julia was announced as the winner. Julia rolled off of Jericho in pain as John came back into the ring. He made his way over to her and placed his hands on either side of her face before kissing her gently. Cheers with a mix of boos from the women in the crowd could be heard. John helped Julia to her feet and was about to carry her out of the ring when Eric Bischoff's theme music sounded through the arena. Shit, John thought as he kept his eye on Jericho making sure that he didn't get up. He didn't want Julia in the middle of them again.
" What the hell do you think your doing! How dare you interfere in the match Cena! I should have you suspended for disobeying my orders. I hope your happy Julia, because your "boyfriend" just caused himself a match next week on your behave. Next week right here on RAW it will be….John Cena versus…..Chris Jericho……and Carlito! In a Handicap match! And Julia……Your FIRED!" Bischoff yelled as John's temper fumed.
" You son of a bitch! Leave her out of this!" John yelled
" Oh there's no changing my mind, so don't even try Cena! See I realized that Miss Martin is more valuable in that ring to me than backstage. Which is why I would like to give her an alternative position. One that I think she would enjoy…..Julia, you my dear are the newest edition to the RAW locker room as a WWE Diva! But, I can't force you into it….even though it is your only other way to be in the WWE." Bischoff laughed," So what's your answer Julia?"
Julia locked eyes with John before looking over to Eric, the camera closed in on her face as RAW went off.
And so Part One is done…..Sorry it took so long, I had to get ready for school. Which starts in less than three days for me! I hate school sometimes. Oh well, hope you guys enjoyed the story.
